World record set for fastest 400m dash...in crocs

The Mississippi College athlete gave “sport mode” a whole new meaning after he ran a blazing time for one lap around the track.

Back in January 2020, Olympic 800-meter finalist Nick Symmonds popularized the Crocs 400-meter dash in a YouTube video. The veteran set the record at 54.64. Since then, other runners chased the Crocs 400-meter world record, including Will Eggers, who set the previous record of 52.06 in June 2020.

Despite wearing three pairs of socks, Klei told Canadian Running that he thinks the record could drop below 50 seconds—especially because his Crocs were a size too big. Klei owns a 400-meter personal best of 47.10 when running in spikes.

Cool, but that’s the wrong way to word the title. He didn’t set the world record and was wearing crocs. He set the world record for wearing crocs

Woman athlete can set a new record without wearing anything 😅😂
